TIMELESS PERCUSSION, SUPERIOR SOUND.

Welcome to the new Noble & Cooley.World-class percussion.

HANDCRAFTED IN THE USA

We’re over 160 years in the making, and always refining our recipe. We’ve gone no farther than our own backyard to bring you the world’s best drums. Carefully crafted and meticulously constructed, our premium wood is harvested right here in New England and transformed into your perfect drum. If it sounds like home, it’s because that’s where it came from.

WHERE INNOVATION MEETS TRADITION

WHERE INNOVATION MEETS TRADITION

Founded in 1854 by Silas Noble and James Cooley, Noble & Cooley has been sustainably producing hand-crafted drums for over 160 years. Our wood is and always has been grown in our own back yard, and harvested right here in New England. As a company with great antiquity, we have evolved and perfected our products over time while preserving the importance of family tradition. Continuously owned and operated by direct descendants of James Cooley, the Noble & Cooley Company of today is still operated in its original location in Granville, Massachusetts.

The Noble & Cooley Process

The Noble & Cooley Process

Our approach to manufacturing drums is not exactly a recipe for mass production. We are OK with that.

Nick Buda walks us through his Noble & Cooley Horizon Series Kit, which features maple shells, mahogany ply and a warm, round, vintage tone. Nick even gives a special nod to his tried and true Alloy Classic Snare featured on many notable albums.

At Noble & Cooley, we make only professional drums, primarily by hand, in our factory in Granville, Massachusetts. Everything we do, from the wood choices to the shell designs and configurations, to the finishes and hardware choices we do solely for the purpose of making drums that look and sound beautiful.

Welcome to our newly redesigned web page and thanks for checking it out! It has been a number of years since we had a website update and we felt it was time to properly share the entire Noble & Cooley story with everyone.
